That's not a poster ... THIS is a poster

Andy Murray seems unlikely to "throw a shrimp on the barbie" any time soon, but, as Crocodile Dunblane, he is Down Under for "your trophy and your Sheilas".

The cleverly timed promotional poster, which superimposes Murray's head on Paul Hogan's in character as Mick Dundee, had the US Open champion chuckling.

The poster promotes Murray, who grew up in Dunblane, as a genuine contender for this year's Australian Open title, and promises "brief cameo appearances" by Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Bernard Tomic.
